Hi,
I haven't been following this thread very closely,
but I happened to notice this article in the news
yesterday:
"New hydrogen buses hit the road"
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/3323527.stm

It all looks very encouraging, but like many things
seems to have its 'small print'. In this case, the caption
to the final figure, which indicates that the hydrogen
is 'sourced from natural gas' (!)

So apparently in the short term it is not quite as good
as it seems, but at least a step in the right direction.
(Is it cheaper to source hydrogen from natural gas
than it would be from water? )
